The most common reason for the game not reading discs is a bad drive. The following website sells the drives and does installs:

store.richspsxparts.com/wiiredvddr

This drive should fix any reading issues you are having with your games, or issues inserting your games or ejecting them (or lack thereof). This is the entire DVD drive assembly mechanism replacement for your game including a new laser. If your discs are not ejecting, or you cannot insert a disc -- or you can insert a disc but it will not load, this is what you need to get your game going again!.

then 1. hold down the Power button AND the Eject button at the same time
2. reach around to the back of the console and turn the switich back on
3. wait a few second and the fans will kick on
4.and then the disk should be able to come out

The most common reason for the PS3 not reading discs is a bad drive. The following website sells the drives and does installs:

Okay, the same thing happened to me and I managed to get the disc out. First is the blue light on. If it isnt then you should hold the eject button and use another cd and push it into the disc drive and gently push your stuck disc around. When you hold the eject button your PS3 will make a loud clicking sound but dont worry. Just keep using the extra disc and push the stuck disc around and it should come out

I have seen several suggestions at the playstation*com PS3 forums in the past, such as:

This one with multiple discs jammed it sounds like it may apply to you:

"If anyone is having any problems, this is what worked for me. What is more amazing is that my son somehow managed to force 3 discs into that tiny slot...no idea how he pulled that one off.

So
after two hours, a pair of tweezers, a fork, and a butterknife, I
decided to try one last thing before giving up. I put the PS3 on its
nose, disc tray down, held the eject button while it was on, and pushed
a disc in and out of the drive. This caused whatever was in there to
finally 'catch' as the drive had been trying to force everything out.
After 2-3 minutes of play, a disc finally poked out. I pulled what i
thought was one and two discs came out. I set it back down flat, tried
to put a cheap DVD in (didn't want to test it with a $60 game) and it
seemed something was still in there. I hit eject and out came the third
disc. I put the DVD in reluctantly and the PS3 took it and loaded it
right up. Unbelievable. After all this abuse, it's apparent these
things are built like tanks."

You gotta love children.Hope that helps.

Comments: Oh, one more thing I remembered to try before you ship it off to Sony
or open it up. Touch the eject button on the PLAYSTATION 3 system front
for 10 seconds or longer to force the disc to eject. After
removing and before reinserting a disc into the PLAYSTATION 3, turn off
the system, and then turn on the system again to resume use.

I researched this problem since my twin 2 1/2 year old sons decided that my PS3 was hungry and needed a steady diet of 3 discs all at once. On a similar discussion board, someone discussed using butter knives to pinch the discs (one on top and one on bottom) and pull them out. This worked to perfection! Just be sure to pull the power cable from the back of your PS3 prior to sticking any objects (i.e. metal knives) into the front of it.
